(full ensemble)

Lyrics:

English: Priceless Copper


When the grief 

comes for you

I won’t let you

drown

let you slip away

I won’t

when it pours out


I don’t need

just let me know

no words

a hint of light

and I’ll pull you from ever 

ever-after

from the gutter

like a penny


I’ll hold

your head, tired eyes

in the crease

of my palm

shining


I can’t help 

but think of you as luck



Spanish: Cobre Milagro


Cuando el dolor 

viene por ti

no te dejare 

ahogas

Dejarte escurrirse 

no hare 

cuando se derrama


No necessito

solo dejame saber 

sin palabras

un toque de luz 

y te jalare siempre 

para siempre

desde la cuneta 

como un centavo


Yo embrazate 

tu cabeza, ojos agotados 

en el pliegue 

de mi palma

brillante


Yo veo ti 

como un milagro




Andy Akiho
